I HAVE WATCHED TONS OF ACTION AND THRILLER MOVIES AND I COULD SAY THAT THIS IS ONE OF MY ALL-TIME FAVORITES. DEFINITELY A MUST-TRY MOVIE! I LOVE LIAM NESSON. THE MOVIE IS AWESOME AND TO THOSE WHO RATED IT LOW! JUST **** OFF!

In The Conmutter we see a loving family man, insurance salesman (retired policeman) and frequent user (Commuter) of the New York train system, confronting a criminal organization, which "forces" him to identify a possible witness for (his or her) subsequent elimination. When we write the word "forces" in quotes, we do so with all the intention, since it is really an offer that the character accepts under certain conditions.The Conmutter, is the fourth collaboration between the Irish actor and the Spanish director Jaume Collet-Serra, (after the successes of Unkoown, Non stop and Run all night )who seems to be responsible for the transformation of the high Irish actor in a Hollywood action hero, who made his name on the big screen at the hands of Steven Spielberg for Schindler's List (not exactly embodying an action hero) and the director's second collaboration with the beautiful and talented Vera Farmiga, after the success of The OrphanThe push that the Spanish director has given the Irish actor comes basically in turning his characters, from father of affectionate family, to an action hero, almost like a modern James Bond. This combination (of characters) seems more a mixture (in the good sense of the word) between James Steward and Clint Eastwood, or to be a bit more current between Tom Hanks and Tom Cruise (keeping the distances in both comparisons). The film is full of a progressive tension and a fast-paced action that feels and sees the viewer, along with the very good and customary performance that Liam Neeson gives us, along with a production that few would say was not filmed in the same train system in New York (it was actually filmed in recording studios in London, making exact replicas of the trains and the memorable Grand Central Terminal in New York)The Conmutter provides us with a character, married with children and responsible for them, and that due to unexpected economic situations sees the offer of an unknown woman in his daily trip on the train attractive, after having a moral dilemma, whether or not to follow the instructions that this mysterious woman sends him. Liam Neeson does not disappoint us, on the contrary he strengthens his image as an actor who plays the father protecting his family embarking on a fast-paced action, and the director repeats the magic of suspense that brought us with Non Stop flight.Finally, it is possible to conclude that it is worth paying the entrance to the cinema, and also a good movie theater combo, popcorn and full refreshments, so you do not to leave the cinema seat for a second.…Expand

The Commuter is surprisingly fun, despite a messy plot, but interestingly filmed and well executed enough to be perfect entertainment. The first two acts are definitely the film's strongest points, whereas the last third gets a bit over the top and exposition heavy, but Liam Neeson'sThe Commuter is surprisingly fun, despite a messy plot, but interestingly filmed and well executed enough to be perfect entertainment.

A worth watching movie. That's all I have to say. It's not great, it's not that memorable, and it would not have been worth seeing at full theater price, but as a rental, it's well worth it. For only $1.50 at a Redbox machine, The Commuter is more than worth it.

Another disposable action thriller where Liam Neeson plays an everyday man whose told that his family is in danger, and that he must carry out a dangerous task that he reluctantly agrees to only to ensure the safety of his family.

In 'The Commuter', he plays Michael MacCauley, an insurance salesman who pretty much is being let go from his company. Feeling discouraged by what has happened, he takes his usual trip on the same train to a long journey, until he meets a woman who claims that she is an expert on body-language and overall human behavior, and she tells him some secrets about what's on the train, and what he's going to do. This leads to Michael receiving a phone-call, and he is told to carry out some dangerous tasks, or his family get killed (what a surprise!). The film ponders along trying to reveal a secret about one of the passenger's identities, and how integral they are to the plot. Most of the characters we come across are intentionally one-dimensional, yes, but everything the plot builds up to is basically trying to surpass expectations and predictability. Neeson does a good job here, as well as the supporting cast. But, the odd direction and uncomfortable editing style make this film a very difficult experience. There is a moment where Neeson's character is just sat opposite his employer at his desk, and, for some reason, we get unnecessary and extreme close-up shots of Neeson's face, even though the conversation they were having did not require such an editing skill. They didn't even start talking about his future at the company, and even then, it wouldn't require such intense camera shots. 'The Commuter' is mainly forgettable and typically formulaic. If you enjoy this kind of film, by all means, see it. Neeson hasn't lost it as an "Expendables"-style action man, but all of these films could not be more uninspired if they tried. At least, try to tell a good story, with believable characters.…Expand

Unoriginal, Boring and such a waste of a very talented cast. The Commuter takes forever to get started and even then it never develops into anything decent. It's your typical Liam Neeson action flick, Some may enjoy it but most won't. I'm a fan of Taken and of Non-Stop but this movie justUnoriginal, Boring and such a waste of a very talented cast.

I'm a fan of Taken and of Non-Stop but this movie just does nothing for me, It's simply beating a dead horse. It's so heavily recycled and cliched.…Expand
